Eczema

Hi there.
My 6yr old son has just got eczema for the first time. Everywhere. Now I'm just after some home remedies that work. I'm just lucky that i kept his nappy rash cream that helps with eczema but I'm also using coconut oil.
What else works for you or your child or someone you know???

My partner suffers horric dermatitis....he wears a long sleeved swim shirt which helps ease the itch. He also uses a cream from aveeno for skin relief. As well as prescribed treatments.

When I was teaching swimming and in chlorine all of the time I had terrible eczema. I used to use a combination from the QV range - the wash in the shower and the moisturiser morning and night

Both kids have eczema. They use a qv wash for baths/showers, have been told to limit baths/showers to 2 minutes, only have showers every second day and also moisturise at least once daily with something like dermaveen/qv/aveeno. We use dermaveen because we need it for sensitive skin and also has a really mild smell. I use it on my baby and 4 year old.
